Installing the software silently

Use silent installations to deploy software to multiple systems, or to an enterprise. In silent mode, you use the command line for installation. A response file supplies the required input to the installation process.

Before you begin

You must have IBM® Installation Manager installed. For information about installing Installation Manager, see Installing t_installing_silently in the Installation Manager Knowledge Center.
Create a response file by using either of the following options:
- Record a response file by using Installation Manager. For more information, see Recording a response file in the Installation Manager Knowledge Center.
- Create a response file manually. For information about creating response files, see Creating a response file manually in the Installation Manager Knowledge Center.
Note: Some IBM support teams might supply response files for silent installation. Contact your local IBM Support team to get a response file if it is available.

Procedure

From the command line, go to the Installation Manager tools directory.
- On Windows™: Depending on the version of Windows™ and Installation Manager installed, the path can be to the default location or to the location that you have specified. For example, the path can be C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse\tools.
- On Linux™: /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools
Run the following command depending on the OS:
- On Windows™: imcl.exe input response_file -log log_file -acceptLicense
- On Linux™: ./imcl input response_file -log log_file -acceptLicense
Example commands:
- On Windows™: imcl.exe input C:\response_files\install.xml -log C:\my_log\install_log.xml -acceptLicense
- On Linux: ./imcl input /response_files/install.xml -log /mylog/install_log.xml -acceptLicense

Results

When the installation is complete, a status of 0 is returned. If the installation cannot be completed, a non-zero number is returned.
